If you were sending checkpatch.pl fixes that would be easier to deal
with but you are sending hundreds of "controversial" cleanups.  They are
controversial in the sense that they don't fix anything against official
kernel style and they go against the author's original intention.  I
tend to agree that useless initializers are bad and disable GCCs
uninitialized variable warnings but just because I agree with you
doesn't make it official kernel style.  It's slightly rude to go against
the author's intention.
